From the Rochester Police Department:

• Convicted predatory offenders have always been released to live in our communities, but it was not until the passage of the Registration Act of 1991 that law enforcement had a right to know an offender’s residence or track their moves after his/her initial release from custody. With the passage of the Community Notification Act, law enforcement now may share information with the public about many of these offenders.
• Further information may be found at the Minnesota Department of Corrections Public Registrant Search at https://coms.doc.state.mn.us/publicregistrantsearch, or you may contact the Minnesota Department of Corrections, Risk Assessment and Community Notification unit at Phone: 651-361-7340 or 866-396-9953 or email at notification.doc@state.mn.us.

In entirely different news...did you know people still do this?

They do and it's awesome (and reminds me of this couple that got engaged at the MN State Fair last year).
